Overview

The MiniViewTM SE GCS82B & GCS84B KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) Switch is a control unit that allows access to 2/4 computers from a single console (keyboard, monitor and mouse). Before development of the MiniView SE, the only way to control multiple computer configurations from a single console was through a complex and costly network system.

Setup is fast and easy, plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is entailed. We have arranged the PS/2 console ports on the front of the unit for easy and convenient access. There is no software to configure, so there is no need to get involved in complex installation routines or be concerned with incompatibility problems. Since the MiniViewTM SE GCS82B & GCS84B intercepts keyboard input directly, it works on any hardware platform and with all operating systems.

The MiniViewTM SE GCS82B & GCS84B provides two convenient methods to access the computers connected to the system using push button selection switches located on the units front panel and entering Hotkey combinations from the keyboard.

There is no better way to save time and money than with a MiniViewTM SE GCS82B or GCS84B. By allowing a single console to manage the attached computers, the MiniViewTM SE GCS82B & GCS84B eliminates the expense of purchasing a separate keyboard, monitor and mouse. Additionally, it saves space taken up by the additional hardware and eliminates the inconvenience of switching from the different computer systems.
